Well I am stuck, hit a brick wall...

Last night I downloaded Windows Media Player so I can play my MP3's on them and noticed a feature which meant I could put a CD in and put my songs on computer, ah that would be excellent to make play-lists. So I put in the CD and an error message appeared... all jibberish something like " AE004689F... error", thats it. So I tired to continue didn't work. I kept trying, restarting computer and relised nothing wrong with media player but my CD ROM does not accept a simple bloody CD.

I have never put a CD in it since I got a new one about a month ago and CD player is next to PC in first place... so whats wrong and how do I fix it? :D
